Cake 11, Vegan Orange and Chocolate (explicit content)

So I finally found that cake cookbook, and I'm making the only vegan one in it. It's quite similar to the other vegan one I made, but I'm following one of their variations (there are enough of these for the book to be called "500 Cakes"). 

Chocolate Fudge Cake (vegan) Orange variation

100g flour (about 3/5 cup)

3/4 tsp baking soda

4 Tb cocoa powder

130g sugar (just under 2/3 C)

160 ml water (about 2/3 cup, replace with orange juice)

4 Tb vegetable oil 

1 Tb white wine vinegar

(grated rind of one orange)

Preheat oven to 180 C, and line a 20cm tin. 

Sift flour, baking soda and cocoa into a bowl, then stir in the sugar. Pour in the oil, vinegar, juice and rind, and stir. Pour into the tin and bake for about 25mins. 

This could be interesting with a bit of Cointreau in the cake or icing. 

This is a pretty awesome vegan cake, it's very soft and fudgy. Mmmmmm.

And... this was our cheerleader......
